Questionnaires results



According to all the tests that i’ve done, most of it refer to a more humanistic area, which is the area that I always thought about. In the last test, the second result that I got was Law, public safety, correction, and security. I’ve always wanted to pursue a career in law, to help and defend others, to try and make something better in our country and also to help fighting for someone’s rights. In the second test i chose First-LineSuper./Man. of Police & Detectives, because when I was a child I dreamt of being a policeman, to defend and fight against criminals.
I identified myself with the results of the tests and that helped me understandand realize that im in the right place, in the right course and that my future is definitely related with something that helps other people.

===

I think the results of the first and second test describes Paulo very well. H
e is a person who enjoys interacting with others, and I am sure this will influence the choice of his career. Good luck for your future Paulo. ===

Filipa Gamas



Despite not knowing very well Paulo, I think the tests describe it very well, as a social person, and I think the community will only benefit from Paul to work for it welfare. I wish you luck for the future choices, that take you to an area that conforms to your interests.

Catarina Martins


I agree with him. Is a person who likes helping others and defending the rights of each person.
Miriam Gaspar


I don't imagine you like a policeman, but I think you would be a great judge where you deal with rights and duties everyday. It's a dangerous job and sometimes unfair, but seems to me that you have ability to do something good and put our country in a good way.
Rita CV




I agree with your results from the first test, I think it has everything to do with you. On the other hand the third test, I think you have results that has nothing to do with you.
Mónica Casas Novas

You're a social person, there is no doubts. Sometimes you are too much social and then, you get hurt. These tests confirmate what I already know, you're place is in humanistic area. Looks like the results are right! You want so bad become a judge.. Since i can't follow that career, at least you can and I'm so glad fot it. I also would like to see you in future like a policeman. But pay attention: you can be severe with people neither rigorous with anything so be careful with these professions. They require too much severity and responsability.No matter what profession you follow, I will always be there to support you.
